A tweed jacket is a jacket that is made from wool. Traditionally, this kind of jacket was worn outdoors and was considered an informal piece of clothing because it has a reputation for being exceptionally durable and water resistant. Many people, however, consider tweed jackets to be fashionable, so they are sold by both designers and more utilitarian outdoor wear stores. These types of jackets come in men's and women's fashions. To choose the best tweed jacket, it can be important first to determine which size you wear, to find out which style and color would best suit your needs, and to choose a jacket that is affordable and of good quality.

When it comes to figuring out which size of tweed jacket is best, you may want to go to a store or outlet and try on a few different sizes. Remember that the width of a jacket should allow you to move easily without appearing too baggy. Lengths of tweed jackets vary. As a general rule, shorter people may find that shorter jackets enable them to appear taller. Taller people, on the other hand, may want to choose longer jackets to decrease the appearance of their height.

A number of online shoppers claim that they can also find the best prices by shopping on the Internet. If you go online to shop for a tweed jacket, make sure that the retailer you choose as a lenient return policy. It is sometimes not easy to determine the right size online, so you may need to return a jacket if it does not fit you or if it is not in a style that you prefer.

Tweed jackets come in a number of different styles and colors. While there is no surefire way to be sure that you are choosing the perfect tweed jacket style, you may want to consider general themes in your wardrobe. For example, if you favor an outdoors look, you may want to look for jackets that have a more rugged or rustic feel. Likewise, if your style is more sophisticated, you can choose a darker tweed that might have a tighter, slicker fit.

For many people, choosing the best tweed jacket is a matter of finding the most affordable jacket that is also the most aesthetically appealing. A good method may be to look at jackets without considering price, this way you can determine which style you prefer. Once you have a list of jackets that you like, you can begin to narrow it down by price.
